COMMERCIAL | Office | A new typology of a skyscraper: The hyperboloid cut as a distinctive and unique building characteristic can only be achieved with a completely different kind of skyscraper geometry. The design concept of the ECB was to make a vertical hyperboloid cut through a 185-meter-tall monolithic block, wedge it apart, twist it, and fill the newly created intermediary space with a glass atrium. The result is highly complex geometry and a multifaceted building offering a completely different appearance from each angle: massive and powerful from the South-East, slender and dynamic from the West. The design of the European Central Bank in Frankfurt combines the new iconic double tower with the vast horizontal structure of the Grossmarkthalle, a protected landmark, creating a new urban development focus in Frankfurt’s Ostend district. United by an entrance building, these two elements form an ensemble of special architectural significance. Featuring bridges, pathways and platforms, the glass atrium between the two high-rises creates a “vertical city”. The semi-public and communicative functions are located in the Grossmarkthalle. The atrium – a “vertical city” The atrium with its visible steel support structure occupies nearly the entire height between the office towers. Connecting and transitioning platforms horizontally divide this interstitial space into three sections with heights from 45 to 60 meters. Just like public squares, they invite visitors to communicate while hanging gardens ensure a pleasant indoor climate. Elevators and stairs connect the levels together and to the public areas located in the Grossmarkthalle. The Grossmarkthalle – an “urban foyer” The existing Grossmarkthalle, a former wholesale market built in the 1920s, is used as an “urban foyer”. The conference and visitor center as well as the library and employee cafeteria are placed diagonally in the spacious interior, as independent building structures (a “house within a house” concept). A floating building penetrates the hall from the outside. With its asymmetrical contours, slanted facades and generous windows, it marks the emblematic entrance to the ECB. The so-called “loop”, a glass walkway between the high-rise and the market hall, completes the ensemble. Focus point of a new urban development The ECB’s architecture was carefully attuned to its location in Frankfurt’s Ostend district. With its clear orientation towards the various urban perspectives, the ensemble enters a dialogue with Frankfurt’s main points of reference: the Alte Oper, the Museum Embankment, and the skyline of the financial district. The distinctive tower, in turn, can be seen from all the important parts of the city center and the Main river, thereby marking the development of a new center in the East of Frankfurt. Energy efficiency and sustainability are key factors of the project The sustainable energy concept includes utilization of rainwater, heat recovery, efficient insulation, sun protection, and natural lighting as well as natural ventilation for the offices. The latter takes place via vertical, room-high ventilation elements installed on the triple-layered hybrid façade of the towers, otherwise acting as a shield. Some areas, such as the atrium and open spaces of the Grossmarkthalle, serve as a buffer zone between indoor and outdoor climates. | https://static.wixstatic.com/media/9756fd_1697a4a98bea4399b8e70bcbcc2d904c~mv2.jpg/v1/fill/w_1800,h_1200,al_c,q_90/European%20Central%20Bank%20(1).jpg 1/0 Private Public Pin Pin 0 x Appreciators 0 3D models Product 2.7K Views 0 Appreciated Appreciate Please login to appreciate European Central Bank Sonnemannstraße 22, 60314 Frankfurt am Main, Germany coop-himmelblau.at Source: Published on Oct 3, 2023 by: CG artist Carl Hecht Premium Member More Buildings from Germany Facts: Up Up Architecture Office Coop Himmelb(l)au Austria Category: COMMERCIAL Office Project Type: Post Type: Building Country: Germany Paul Raftery Photographers: Architects: Coop Himmelb(l)au Area: 185,000 m² Year: 2015 City: Frankfurt Construction: Client European Central Bank Description: the architects Text description by A new typology of a skyscraper: The hyperboloid cut as a distinctive and unique building characteristic can only be achieved with a completely different kind of skyscraper geometry.

HOTELS | Cabin | A tranquil wooden cabin perched on a hillside in Northern Sweden, the Söderloftet is a project by the architectural studio Fria Folket and is part of the Bergaliv landscape hotel. Completed in 2021, the small getaway cabin is located on a rock ledge on Åsberget mountain and offers a spectacular vista over the Ljusnan river valley. The name, meaning "South Loft," reflects its positioning. The structure is raised on slender pillars, a design choice that makes it appear to float among the surrounding treetops and balances the expansive landscape with a fine-tuned connection to the nearby forest. The 20-square-meter cabin consists of two main parts: a closed, heated living area and a large, open-air veranda that includes a covered viewing platform. The sheltered space features an extensive ceiling height of 4.5 meters, which provides an airy ambiance and allows for a smaller sleeping loft above the main living area. Inside, the design marries Nordic minimalism with Japanese-inspired aesthetics, using clean lines and light woods such as birch, fir, and heart pine. The flexible layout and minimal furnishings serve to emphasize the views of nature. A low wooden platform, for instance, can function as seating, a bed, or a space for yoga. To maximize its connection with the surrounding environment, the cabin's construction avoids plastics, and the walls and roof are insulated with flax fibers, a nod to traditional Nordic building methods. The Söderloftet stands as a serene and unobtrusive retreat, designed to help visitors escape a hectic life and find tranquility in nature.

Completed in 2017, the hotel consists of a series of elevated wooden cabins designed to offer guests solitude and tranquility while minimizing their impact on the environment. Michelson, who also works for Tham & Videgård Arkitekter, was commissioned to create the cabins, which draw inspiration from traditional Swedish and Japanese design philosophies. The first cabin, known as Lofthuset ("the loft house"), was followed by the Söderloftet in 2021, and additional hideaways are planned. To reduce its visual impact and respect the landscape, each cabin is built on tall stilts that raise it above the ground and allow it to sway gently in the wind. This positioning gives guests a "high above the tree tops" view of the Ljusnan River valley below. The design is built around a concept of duality, with two contrasting spaces. The lower level of the 10-meter-tall structure is a compact, insulated space housing a combined living and sleeping area. This level features a wooden bench for resting and futon mattresses that can be hung on the wall to maximize space. Above, the upper level is an open-air deck with a gabled pinewood roof, offering uninterrupted views of the surrounding scenery and functioning as a peaceful vantage point. The cabins are constructed using a palette of natural materials. The exterior is clad in heart-pine and spruce wood, allowing the structures to blend into the forest, while the interior features pale birch plywood and ash. Following Nordic building traditions, the walls are insulated with flax fibers. With their minimalist and raw interiors, the cabins are designed to remove unnecessary noise and focus attention on the expansive natural landscape.

RESIDENTIAL | Cabin | The Nisser Micro Cabin is a 26-square-meter residential prototype designed by Feste Landskap / Arkitektur and completed in 2017. It is located in Nissedal, a municipality in the Telemark region of Norway, on the banks of Lake Nisser. Commissioned by Smarte Hytter AS, a local cabin developer, the project was intended as a sustainable and compact alternative to the trend of large, luxurious holiday homes that are common in Norway. The architects' ultimate goal is to develop a floating version of the cabin, but due to local planning restrictions on Lake Nisser, the prototype was built on stilts on the shore. The design of the cabin maximizes the user's connection to the surrounding landscape. A large, glazed facade between the main living area and a covered terrace blurs the line between indoor and outdoor space, creating a seamless link to the lake and landscape. The exterior is clad in thermally treated pinewood, a sustainable and chemical-free material that gives the cabin a natural, integrated feel within its environment. This exterior cladding also has integrated gutters and downpipes, which creates clean, expressive facades. The compact, 26-square-meter floor plan includes a small mezzanine loft for sleeping, with a total capacity to accommodate up to seven people. The module is connected to electricity, water, and sewage via a flexible pipe that enters from beneath, a system designed to be compatible with a future floating version.

HOSPITALITY | Cabins | In the picturesque Demänovská Dolina of Slovakia's Low Tatras mountains, Ark-shelter designed a cluster of eleven modular cabins and a wellness area for Hotel Björnson Jasná. Completed in 2020, the project integrates modular, prefabricated structures into the forest environment to provide guests with a unique retreat close to nature. The design for the shelters was based on the hotel's request for single-sided, double cabins dispersed throughout the forest surrounding the main building. The cabins are elevated on stilts, minimizing contact with the ground and allowing the landscape to flow continuously underneath. This approach avoided disturbing the natural terrain and the growth of tree roots. The shelters were carefully placed between existing trees, rather than clearing the forest, to ensure both privacy for guests and preservation of the natural surroundings. Each cabin is oriented to face away from others and towards an undisturbed view of either the forest or the nearby ski slope through large, floor-to-ceiling windows. Each cottage is made of two independent modules, functioning as separate apartments. A sliding partition wall allows for the living rooms to connect, creating a single larger space for families or larger groups. The exterior is clad in black-painted spruce to blend with the dark tones of the surrounding forest. The interiors feature light, minimalist materials, including spruce panels and oak floors, to create a warm and cozy atmosphere. Accommodation and wellness facilities The project includes eleven guest shelters and a wellness area. Guest cabins: Each of the 75-square-meter cottages is fully furnished and contains two independent apartments, with each apartment comprising a bedroom/living room, children's room, entrance hall, and bathroom. Wellness modules: The retreat also features a wellness facility consisting of four Ark-shelter modules configured to create saunas, relaxation rooms, and massage rooms for guests.

MULTI-FUNCTIONAL | Barn | The Sixteen-Oak Barn, created by HilberinkBosch architects, is a project rooted in local tradition and sustainable, on-site material reuse. Faced with the necessity of felling seven century-old oak trees on their estate near 's-Hertogenbosch in the Netherlands, architects Annemariken Hilberink and Geert Bosch made the decision to repurpose the ailing timber themselves rather than selling it to a paper factory. This resourceful approach led to the construction of a new multi-purpose barn adjacent to their studio, which is housed in a converted farmhouse. The design of the Sixteen-Oak Barn draws inspiration from the traditional farmhouses of the Meierij region, which historically incorporated various functions into a single structure. The architects made use of every part of the felled oak trees, supplemented by a couple of additional oaks from the nearby Wamberg estate. A mobile sawmill was brought to the site to cut the best-quality core sections of the trunks into structural timber for the frames, roof, and façade. The asymmetrical roof, which features a steep and a low-pitched side, was covered with durable shingles made from smaller sections of oak. The rough-hewn exterior siding was created using pieces of timber with the bark still attached, which gives the façade a textured, organic appearance. The project also embraces the imperfections found in the materials, including marks left by remnants of barbed wire and shrapnel embedded in the old trees, which add to the building's character. The remaining waste wood was chopped and set aside for use as firewood to heat the building during colder months. The barn itself is a blend of rustic and modern aesthetics, incorporating a minimal palette of natural materials: oak, concrete, and glass. Inside, the exposed timber frame is paired with board-formed concrete walls, creating surfaces with unique patterns left by the sapwood used for the forms. Large glass panels and slatted windows allow light to flood into the interior. The 1,300-square-foot structure is divided into three main areas: a carport, a storage room, and a workshop that doubles as a meeting space for the firm. Above the storage room is an open loft space that overlooks the workshop area.

COMMERCIAL | Mixed-use development | The concept for the design of the JVC New Urban Entertainment Center in Guadalajara, Mexico, is based on the idea of redefining the meaning of entertainment in the 21st century. Recent studies show a shift in our society, from one based on information and communication to one based on an increasing level of knowledge. The development, production and distribution of goods and services rely more and more on knowledge. This trend results in a growing demand for highly qualified individuals and an increased importance of knowledge management in businesses. The flow of knowledge therefore becomes crucial in determining the performance of a society. The design proposal for the JVC Entertainment and Commercial Center redefines entertainment from a place of mere consumption to a place of intellectual discourse. This ​“marketplace of the future” combines well-known forms of entertainment and commerce with new facilities coming from the production and exchange of knowledge. In this process, the health of body and mind is seen as crucial, thus generating a proposal of facilities for physical and mental well-being. The program therefore consists of cinemas, exclusive restaurants, bars and clubs, shops, a fitness and pool area, offices for the research and development of technology as well as the Space of Knowledge, an animated exhibition area displaying information on recent technological innovations. Interactive computer terminals will give access to the internet and other global information networks, and will also provide information about the activities taking place in the adjacent facilities of the master plan. The sixteen cinemas will be of varied types and sizes: a premiere theater for 1000 people, an IMAX theater for 500 visitors and traditional cinemas seating 750, 500, 300 and 200 persons. The seven restaurants and seven bars or clubs will be designed by different guest architects according to various cultural and regional themes. The proposed building complex is to be understood not as a building but as an open urban landscape. This building landscape seemingly extends beyond the boundaries of its site and — reflecting its central location and function in the master plan — becomes part of the open plaza which spans between the adjacent buildings and the lake. The mass of the building is broken down into small blocks, creating a spatial sequence which dissolves the conventions of traditional perspective and allows for multiple views through the building on different horizons. The building complex consists of five major elements: the ground plane, the cinema blocks, the shopping decks, the sculptural figures and the roof: The ground plane is partially broken into the ground to create the central sunken plaza. The plaza contains the cinema blocks and provides the main access to the multiple functions of the complex. Loft structures like park decks, still below ground, flank the cinema blocks and central plaza on both sides and contain the shops, the pool, the fitness area and the offices. Five sculptural figures, three of which hold up the roof plate, contain circulations and several exclusive restaurants and clubs: the shaped tower serves as central circulation element and houses the Cuban club, while the double pyramid holds the Brazilian club, and the hanging triangle another restaurant and club. A double cone acts as a light well to the pool and fitness area whereas the jumping whale shelters the Space of Knowledge. The slightly curved roof protects from the sun and rain. Its partially louvered areas allow for filtered sunlight to reach down to the plaza during the day, and the eye to the sky allows for an unobstructed view of the sky at night. Different circulation elements create multiple movements through the building. Stairs on all sides of the complex fold the urban landscape down into the sunken plaza and allow for a fluid movement through the buildings. Additional stairs and ramps connect to the cinemas on upper levels as well as the restaurants, bars and clubs inside the sculptures or on top of the cinema blocks. In addition, two ramps lead to existing pedestrian routes of the masterplan, the central street along the office buildings and the lake promenade. These ramps cut diagonally through the buildings to form the ​‘snake alley’, a ​‘medieval’ shopping street with diverse small, bazaar like shops ranging from traditional taco stands to high-tech computer stores, thus, together with the cinemas, offices and Space of Knowledge, create the ​“marketplace of the future”. | https://static.wixstatic.com/media/9756fd_a884f2412b6b49b491acc25e48bd165e~mv2.jpg/v1/fill/w_900,h_675,al_c,q_85/JVC%20New%20Urban%20Entertainment%20Center%20(2).jpg 1/0 Private Public Pin Pin 0 x Appreciators 0 3D models Product 2.3K Views 0 Appreciated Appreciate Please login to appreciate JVC New Urban Entertainment Center Guadalajara, Jalisco, Mexico coop-himmelblau.at Source: Published on Oct 3, 2023 by: Civil Engineer Rosa Garcia Premium Member More Buildings from Mexico Facts: Up Up Architecture Office Coop Himmelb(l)au Austria Category: COMMERCIAL Mixed-use development Project Type: Post Type: Building Country: Mexico Armin Hess, ISOCHROM Photographers: Architects: Coop Himmelb(l)au Area: 96.000 m² Year: 2001 City: Guadalajara Construction: Client Omnitrition de Mexico Description: the architects Text description by The concept for the design of the JVC New Urban Entertainment Center in Guadalajara, Mexico, is based on the idea of redefining the meaning of entertainment in the 21st century.

RESIDENTIAL | House | The Black Timber House, designed by HAPA Architects, is a contemporary eco-home located on the edge of the village of Rodmell, within the South Downs National Park in East Sussex, England. Completed in 2022, the award-winning residence is situated in a bucolic context, replacing a mid-century bungalow that had a less harmonious relationship with the landscape. The design is a sensitive and modern response to its setting, nestled among ash trees and fields, with its dark timber exterior allowing it to recede softly into the scenery. The house was conceived with a strong focus on sustainability, with the goal of creating a home that respects its surroundings and has minimal energy consumption. HAPA Architects employed a range of passive and active strategies to achieve this. Key features include an A-rated Energy Performance Certificate (EPC), high levels of insulation and air tightness, and a passive solar design. The house also generates its own power via photovoltaic (PV) panels on the roof and uses a high-efficiency air source heat pump for low-temperature underfloor heating. A mechanical ventilation with heat recovery (MVHR) system ensures a constant supply of fresh air, contributing to a stable and calm internal atmosphere regardless of external weather conditions. The architectural design features two distinct stacked forms, which create interesting overhangs and roof spaces. The lower level is built on a concrete plinth, while the upper, private bedroom spaces are housed within a simple gabled form that reaches up into the canopies of the trees. The transition from horizontal timber cladding on the lower level to vertical timber on the upper level accentuates this distinction. A covered entrance and a raised, open veranda connect the house to the rear garden and fields. Inside, the vaulted ceilings of the bedrooms create impressive double-height spaces, and a wrap-over window adds dramatic natural light. The interior continues the minimalist and elegant aesthetic with natural materials. The kitchen features bespoke cabinetry crafted from cross-sawn, smoked, and white-oiled engineered oak planks, a material that also serves as the timber flooring. This provides a rustic yet refined texture that complements the home's contemporary feel. A natural patinaed zinc worktop works beautifully with the other natural finishes.

RESIDENTIAL | Tiny Home | Located in Gangwon Province, South Korea, the Tiny House of Slow Town was designed by The Plus Partners and DNC Architects and completed in 2016. The 19.8-square-meter cabin was part of a broader project to provide additional housing for the 2018 Pyeongchang Winter Olympics, with a focus on sustainable construction and a minimal footprint in a pristine natural setting. The exterior is defined by a black sheet metal cladding and a hipped roof, with large windows creating a dynamic contrast with the sunlight. This dark and angular form sets it apart from its surroundings while its small scale keeps the environmental impact low. The interior maximizes its small area by creating a double-height volume and utilizing a minimalist, fully wooden finish. A steep staircase doubles as a storage space, leading to a garret that houses a large bed. The simple interior features built-in elements, including a kitchen and bathroom. The interior is painted in a warm yellow, creating a cozy and inviting atmosphere. The combination of a large bed in the loft, a built-in kitchen, and a small bathroom provides all the necessary amenities within a compact and efficient layout.

RESIDENTIAL | Studio | The Polygon Studio, a combined sculpture studio and guesthouse, was designed by Jeffery S. Poss Architect and Chicago-based WORKUS Studio for a client with a wooded, steeply sloped lakefront property in New York's Adirondack Mountains. Completed in 2013, the two-story structure was built at the highest elevation of the property, offering tree-filtered views of Lake George from both levels. The design draws on the rural Adirondack vernacular, and its overall form reflects the building's dual purpose. The ground floor, measuring 409 square feet, is dedicated to the sculpture studio. This level features large sliding glass doors, a durable concrete floor, and a tall, light-filled space for creative work, with a tucked-away service area beneath the upper loft. The upper loft serves as a guest room and forms its own gabled volume with a small, cantilevered balcony, offering a private space with elevated views of the lake. The exterior cladding combines galvanized steel siding for the gables and north end with local, milled red cedar for the east and west sides, which adds warmth and references the local vernacular. Inside, the use of locally milled cedar continues on the loft and ceilings, creating a warm, aromatic environment that contrasts with the bright white walls of the studio space. The zigzag roof profile further emphasizes the building's distinct, yet interconnected, interior spaces. Credits Architects: Jeffery S.

SPORTS & RECREATION | Aquatic center | Palace of Swimming Sports The building, which is transforming the view of the Danube bank in North Pest, is the visual closure of the riparian installation. Due to its scale, its mass rising above the flat area, it is more of a natural formation, a landmark, the undulating façade of which was dressed by Marcel Ferencz and György Détári, the architects who designed the building, in shades of reflection of the sky and the Danube. Intensive coastal development in major European waterfront cities has been going on for decades. This is what happened in Vienna, Düsseldorf, Duisburg, London: public institutions, hotels, sports and office complexes were built, which are carriers of high-tech and often industrial aesthetics. Starting in Pest from the Palace of Arts to Boráros Square - and opposite it, such an institutional area developed in Újbuda. Looking at the northern side of the historic city center, with the exception of the double mass of the Danube Towers, the opportunities are still untapped. Of course, the installation does not become - it cannot become - continuous here. The natural endowments of the Danube bank, such as the mouth of the Rákos stream or the outer park area of ​​the Dagály beach, necessarily interrupt the line. The view of the Swimming Center, which is embedded between these two, is decisive from two main directions from the point of view of the cityscape. It opens from Népfürdő Street with a stepped, moving terrain, with an entrance zone that can be understood as a kind of “building landscape” with a terrace. The mass of the house here fits into the old, preserved and currently being renovated entrance building of the Dagály Bath, the two buildings will be connected by a glass corridor. From the Buda side, the accordion-like strips of aluminum sheet converging in a sharp-edged edge, reflecting the colors of the water and the sun turning from south to west, depending on the viewing angle. The undulating façade separates from the mass of the house, a staircase and a panoramic elevator lead to the roof behind the bark, independent of the hall, the gaps between the bypass wave lines show changing views and a wider horizon. Arriving at the roof, a pretty full, 360-degree panorama of Budapest unfolds before us. At the level of the Danube, the house is not an obstacle: a small stretch, a meeting point and a tidy public area are being built on the bank. Béla Varga, István Fodor, Tamás Ükör and Ákos Pindes played a key role in the integration of the tidal bath and the Danube Arena, who were responsible for the preparation of the permitting and construction plans. The thought of the house is accompanied by contact with the Danube. The pereg counting next to the main entrance: the plan of the BME students (I will send this in a separate letter) was put into operation here to visualize the flow of the river. On the site of the former Roman fortress, the long axes of the strict, perpendicular raster system of the Swimming Center now open, providing a visual connection from the foyer to the river after the demolition of the temporary stands. Each pool, community and event space is connected by aisles. The house had to be prepared for a total of twelve different floor plan variations: four sports - artificial jumping, synchronized swimming, swimming, water polo - for everyday, domestic and international competition. The contradiction between gigantic size and mobility had to be resolved. The house, divided into lanes in terms of floor plan, can accommodate changes in the movement and routes of athletes, spectators, the press and guests. As the arena must serve two – competition and normal – functions, the most important factor in the planning of the building was to lay down spatial foundations which could cope with the changes, said architect and creator of the Arena, Marcel Ferencz. We opted for a nine-partite spatial arrangement previously used by ancient cultures. The headroom of the main hall can accommodate up to ten additional rows of spectators, thus we planned with a significant reserve which impacted the scale of the structure. The bracketed nature of the facade serves as a link and connection between the main and ancillary masses of varying heights, whilst the major support structure remained part of the composition while retaining its functional logic. The four structural supports orient the building’s partitioned traffic systems and serve as a link between the various functions. We resolved the inevitable issue of density arising from its functions with the transparency of surfaces in the spectator zones. Upon entrance, the operation of the building becomes immediately transparent, providing views on both sides of the building as mass and transparency accommodate one another. The three-level, 25,000 sqm competition hall features a 10-lane, 50 meter competition pool with a depth of 3 meters, along with a 5 meter deep, 21x25 meter pool and diving tower as well as a 6000-capacity spectator stand, symmetrically positioned along the length of the hall. The main building’s warm-up hall features a 10-lane, 2.2 meter deep and 50 meter long warm-up pool (on a half-pool sized area with an adjustable bottom), a 1 meter deep, 8x12.5 meter children’s pool and a jacuzzi that can accommodate up to 25 people. The main building also houses stores, a sports museum, fitness centre, professional gyms, buffets, a VIP viewing area, conference and events hall, media studios, offices and meeting rooms as well as auxiliary premises (maintenance and operational rooms, sanitary units, changing rooms, medical and security rooms). Temporary structures (across 3 levels with a floor space of 25,000 sqm) were erected for the duration of the world championship, connected to the long sides of the building. This temporary building housed social and catering points for guests, as well as FINA media, sporting technology and event-hosting operational rooms. The temporary spectator stands had a capacity for an additional 9000 viewers. Therefore, the full, expanded floor space of the building amounted to 50,000 sqm with a capacity for 15,000 people. “For the duration of the world championship, the Duna Arena was built with a temporary spectator stand for 15 thousand people, which was not necessary for its everyday operation. | https://static.wixstatic.com/media/9756fd_155ac6d294f84d56be793d56945ed306~mv2.jpg/v1/fill/w_1920,h_1079,al_c,q_90/Danube%20Arena%20(5).jpg 1/0 Private Public Pin Pin 0 x Appreciators 0 3D models Product 3.2K Views 0 Appreciated Appreciate Please login to appreciate Duna Aréna Budapest, Dagály fürdő, Hungary napur.hu Source: Published on Oct 3, 2023 by: Photographer Anna Salonen Premium Member More Buildings from Hungary Facts: Up Up Architecture Office NAPUR ARCHITECT Hungary Category: SPORTS & RECREATION Aquatic center Project Type: Post Type: Building Country: Hungary Photographers: Architects: NAPUR ARCHITECT Area: 50.000 m2 Year: 2017 City: Budapest Construction: Client MNV Description: the architects Text description by Palace of Swimming Sports The building, which is transforming the view of the Danube bank in North Pest, is the visual closure of the riparian installation. Due to its scale, its mass rising above the flat area, it is more of a natural formation, a landmark, the undulating façade of which was dressed by Marcel Ferencz and György Détári, the architects who designed the building, in shades of reflection of the sky and the Danube. Intensive coastal development in major European waterfront cities has been going on for decades. This is what happened in Vienna, Düsseldorf, Duisburg, London: public institutions, hotels, sports and office complexes were built, which are carriers of high-tech and often industrial aesthetics. Starting in Pest from the Palace of Arts to Boráros Square - and opposite it, such an institutional area developed in Újbuda. Looking at the northern side of the historic city center, with the exception of the double mass of the Danube Towers, the opportunities are still untapped. Of course, the installation does not become - it cannot become - continuous here. The natural endowments of the Danube bank, such as the mouth of the Rákos stream or the outer park area of the Dagály beach, necessarily interrupt the line. The view of the Swimming Center, which is embedded between these two, is decisive from two main directions from the point of view of the cityscape. It opens from Népfürdő Street with a stepped, moving terrain, with an entrance zone that can be understood as a kind of “building landscape” with a terrace. The mass of the house here fits into the old, preserved and currently being renovated entrance building of the Dagály Bath, the two buildings will be connected by a glass corridor. From the Buda side, the accordion-like strips of aluminum sheet converging in a sharp-edged edge, reflecting the colors of the water and the sun turning from south to west, depending on the viewing angle. The undulating façade separates from the mass of the house, a staircase and a panoramic elevator lead to the roof behind the bark, independent of the hall, the gaps between the bypass wave lines show changing views and a wider horizon. Arriving at the roof, a pretty full, 360-degree panorama of Budapest unfolds before us. At the level of the Danube, the house is not an obstacle: a small stretch, a meeting point and a tidy public area are being built on the bank. Béla Varga, István Fodor, Tamás Ükör and Ákos Pindes played a key role in the integration of the tidal bath and the Danube Arena, who were responsible for the preparation of the permitting and construction plans. The thought of the house is accompanied by contact with the Danube. The pereg counting next to the main entrance: the plan of the BME students (I will send this in a separate letter) was put into operation here to visualize the flow of the river. On the site of the former Roman fortress, the long axes of the strict, perpendicular raster system of the Swimming Center now open, providing a visual connection from the foyer to the river after the demolition of the temporary stands. Each pool, community and event space is connected by aisles. The house had to be prepared for a total of twelve different floor plan variations: four sports - artificial jumping, synchronized swimming, swimming, water polo - for everyday, domestic and international competition. The contradiction between gigantic size and mobility had to be resolved. The house, divided into lanes in terms of floor plan, can accommodate changes in the movement and routes of athletes, spectators, the press and guests. As the arena must serve two – competition and normal – functions, the most important factor in the planning of the building was to lay down spatial foundations which could cope with the changes, said architect and creator of the Arena, Marcel Ferencz. We opted for a nine-partite spatial arrangement previously used by ancient cultures. The headroom of the main hall can accommodate up to ten additional rows of spectators, thus we planned with a significant reserve which impacted the scale of the structure. The bracketed nature of the facade serves as a link and connection between the main and ancillary masses of varying heights, whilst the major support structure remained part of the composition while retaining its functional logic. The four structural supports orient the building’s partitioned traffic systems and serve as a link between the various functions. We resolved the inevitable issue of density arising from its functions with the transparency of surfaces in the spectator zones. Upon entrance, the operation of the building becomes immediately transparent, providing views on both sides of the building as mass and transparency accommodate one another. The three-level, 25,000 sqm competition hall features a 10-lane, 50 meter competition pool with a depth of 3 meters, along with a 5 meter deep, 21x25 meter pool and diving tower as well as a 6000-capacity spectator stand, symmetrically positioned along the length of the hall. The main building’s warm-up hall features a 10-lane, 2.2 meter deep and 50 meter long warm-up pool (on a half-pool sized area with an adjustable bottom), a 1 meter deep, 8x12.5 meter children’s pool and a jacuzzi that can accommodate up to 25 people. The main building also houses stores, a sports museum, fitness centre, professional gyms, buffets, a VIP viewing area, conference and events hall, media studios, offices and meeting rooms as well as auxiliary premises (maintenance and operational rooms, sanitary units, changing rooms, medical and security rooms). Temporary structures (across 3 levels with a floor space of 25,000 sqm) were erected for the duration of the world championship, connected to the long sides of the building. This temporary building housed social and catering points for guests, as well as FINA media, sporting technology and event-hosting operational rooms. The temporary spectator stands had a capacity for an additional 9000 viewers. Therefore, the full, expanded floor space of the building amounted to 50,000 sqm with a capacity for 15,000 people. “For the duration of the world championship, the Duna Arena was built with a temporary spectator stand for 15 thousand people, which was not necessary for its everyday operation.

RESIDENTIAL | House | Perched along the rugged Bay of Chaleur in New Brunswick, Canada, The Sandbox is a contemporary, three-story timber-clad residence designed by Halifax-based Peter Braithwaite Studio. Completed in 2023 for a couple who run a local excavation business, the home was conceived as a resilient and thoughtful beach house that celebrates both its dramatic coastal location and the local construction trades. The design is a deliberate contrast of elements, combining a minimalist, boxy form with robust, durable materials chosen to withstand the harsh Atlantic climate of heavy winds and rain. The exterior is clad in Eastern white cedar and weathering steel, which will gracefully age and patina over time to blend with the weathered shoreline. A striking Corten steel staircase wraps around the building's exterior, leading to an elevated viewing deck that offers expansive vistas of the bay. This industrial detailing, along with the home's sturdy construction, gives it a tough, resilient character. Inside, the home is a celebration of craftsmanship, light, and an open layout designed to connect with the landscape. A custom-built kitchen island serves as a central hearth for social gatherings, while strategically placed windows frame views and fill the space with natural light. The material palette is a thoughtful mix of timber, plywood, and other natural materials. A master bedroom hovers over the living area, featuring a glazed corner that allows for immersive views of the bay. The home's design and build were approached on a humble budget, with local connections to regional trades and manufacturers fostering lasting relationships and resulting in a well-crafted dwelling built to last.

RESIDENTIAL | House | The House on the Pond, or Maison sur l'Étang in French, is a secondary dwelling designed by Montreal-based Atelier Échelle. Located in the rural municipality of Austin in Québec, Canada, the project was completed in 2023. Created to complement the client's ancestral home on the same property, the house was envisioned as a compact yet versatile "jewel box" with a strong connection to its natural surroundings. The design of the 120-square-meter house is a modern reinterpretation of traditional Québec agrarian architecture. Atelier Échelle successfully navigated tight local building regulations, which capped the floor area, by maximizing covered terraces and creating a flexible interior layout. The house is elevated on an insulated concrete block foundation, with a lower level carved into the ground, and a mezzanine level built into the gabled roof. This design allows the building to adapt to the seasons, with expanded outdoor spaces in favorable weather and a cozy, protected interior during winter. The interior spaces are characterized by warmth, timelessness, and a connection to nature. A double-height living room on the main level is anchored by a wood-burning fireplace and large windows that provide expansive views of the adjacent pond and distant mountains. The kitchen features custom rift-cut white oak millwork and a gold-streaked white quartzite counter. The primary bedroom is located on the mezzanine level, while a children's bunk room is tucked into the subterranean level. The basement also includes a TV lounge and a bathroom. The choice of materials emphasizes durability, sustainability, and a respectful connection to the local environment. The exterior cladding and decks are made of Kebony, a sustainable, modified wood product. The interiors feature rift-cut white oak millwork and unlacquered brass hardware, which will develop a rich patina over time. A soft, putty-colored sandstone is used for the sunken fire pit, complementing the gold-streaked quartzite in the kitchen.

MULTI-FUNCTIONAL | Boathouse | Tucked into the base of a Pōhutukawa-lined cliff in Auckland's Herne Bay, Boathouse 01 by Michael Cooper Architects is a modern and elegant solution for waterside living. The boathouse was designed to provide clients with a practical space for storing and launching their boats, including a powerboat and a fully rigged Laser yacht, while creating a graceful connection to the Waitematā Harbour. Its design is a contemporary take on the traditional gable house, featuring an asymmetrical form tailored to its function and location. The exterior is defined by a refined material palette, with dark corrugated metal cladding that allows the structure to recede respectfully into the cliff's edge. This is complemented by purpleheart hardwood decking that extends from the structure, creating a seamless transition to the water's edge. The most striking exterior feature is the translucent cladding on the front and rear of the building. When the large doors are open, this cladding evokes the sails of a yacht, while at night, with the doors closed, the boathouse glows like a ship's lantern. Inside, the architecture is designed for both function and beauty within a maritime environment. The walls are lined with Meranti ply, and custom shelving provides integrated storage. The main boat storage area on the ground floor is visually separated from a mezzanine workspace by laminated timber portal frames, a design detail that references typical boat construction. The interior spaces are filled with natural light, particularly when the large doors are open, and the overall feel is one of thoughtful, practical elegance.

The interior spaces are filled with natural light, particularly when the large doors are open, and the overall feel is one of thoughtful, practical elegance.

The boathouse was designed to provide clients with a practical space for storing and launching their boats, including a powerboat and a fully rigged Laser yacht, while creating a graceful connection to the Waitematā Harbour. Its design is a contemporary take on the traditional gable house, featuring an asymmetrical form tailored to its function and location. The exterior is defined by a refined material palette, with dark corrugated metal cladding that allows the structure to recede respectfully into the cliff's edge. This is complemented by purpleheart hardwood decking that extends from the structure, creating a seamless transition to the water's edge. The most striking exterior feature is the translucent cladding on the front and rear of the building. When the large doors are open, this cladding evokes the sails of a yacht, while at night, with the doors closed, the boathouse glows like a ship's lantern.
